Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Closing the Meal Gap Act of 2025 amends the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to increase Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by changing the calculation basis from the thrifty food plan to the low-cost food plan, which is a more generous standard. The bill also increases the standard medical expense deduction for elderly and disabled SNAP recipients, eliminates the cap on shelter expense deductions, and removes time limits on SNAP eligibility for certain populations. Additionally, it requires periodic reevaluation of food costs and adjusts benefit calculations to account for regional variations in food prices.
